The girl at the front desk demanded $10 for a heart rate monitor loaner (Really?). Out of all the money I pay you for premier monthly you can't give a complimentary loner ONCE like other locations have for me? Very tacky on your part manager. (She called me to address this and turns out the lousy customer service is on her part, she runs the place with an iron fist). Finally, this instructor "Rob" would not let me deviate from the weight routine at all and forced a confrontation. Look, I lift up to 3 plates on each side at the gym and need to level up my workouts. Doing step ups or a simple plank isn't going to give me any gains or soreness. WAY under par considering all the other locations I use.

I recently moved out of state and it didn't take long to realize how good I had it at Whole Fitness…read moreby Jess. Leaving Jess and her team behind was one of the hardest parts of my move, and it immediately showed me just how exceptional that experience truly was. Jess and her team completely changed my mind set about going to the gym and working out. I was in my early 40s when I first started working out at Whole Fitness and, until I found Jess, I had never been able to stick to any kind of fitness routine. I was at my heaviest, totally overwhelmed, and honestly at my wits' end. From day one, Jess put me at ease and made me feel at home. Whole Fitness isn't a typical gym and that's what makes it so special. It's a boutique, private environment where you never feel self-conscious, intimidated, or uncomfortable. I always felt safe, cared for, and supported. The trainers and the other clients became an extension of my family, and leaving that behind was much harder than I expected. After moving, I tried to recreate that experience and quickly realized just how rare Jess and her team are. I won't turn this into a complaint about other trainers, but it became clear that what Whole Fitness offers isn't easy to find. I eventually stopped trying to replace it and started doing virtual training with Jess instead because I'm simply not willing to settle for less than the best. If you're looking for a place that truly supports you, meets you where you are, and helps you build something sustainable, this is it. Jess and her team are exceptional and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I consider myself a pretty active guy, I played sports in high school, I'm in the navy, and I've…read morelifted weights for most of my adult life. Today I participated in my wife's training session with Jess and she really made me feel the burn. She showed my how to isolate particular muscle groups that's I never have before. I always thought I was doing shoulder workouts like side raises and shoulder press correctly, but she gave me tips that really helped me activate the muscle groups with less weight than I usually use. She also made the workout fun and threw in some movements that I definitely haven't done and really challenged me. Since my wife started with Jess I've definitely seen the change in her and would recommend her to anybody looking for a trainer that really knows what they're doing.

I was intimidated at first, but everyone made me feel so welcome. It was clear that even the other patrons wanted not only themselves, but everyone in the gym to succeed and feel comfortable. As a newbie who has always been intimidated by gyms, even after having worked in one, this was so, so appreciated. Plus, they have tanning, childcare and a smoothie bar! The membership is also quite affordable.

Fitness has been a major Pilar for my success throughout my nearly 20 year Army career. Teaching and fitness are both passions of mine and when I retired from the army, I thought “why not combine the two”? Thus, the business was born. I focus on enforcing proper form and safety throughout our exercises. I teach you how to use multiple pieces of gym equipment that’s required to hit and activate those muscles you forgot were there. The Boot Camp (6weeks) is by far my most popular package I offer. It’s designed to be educational, but will still give you one heck of a workout. My Boot Camp was designed this way to give you the foundation knowledge of how to exercise and use the equipment in the event you chose to retain me or not after completion. I’m confident that you’ll be able to return the gym on your own to continue towards your fitness goals. Also offered is online coaching as an alternative to in-person training. With this option you’ll get video demonstrations for each exercise to ensure you see what “right” looks like. Whether you’re new to the gym, a regular gym rat, or have let fitness fall to the wayside, I have a plan built just for you.
